Скачать или смотреть C64 - PC Remake - Mayhem's Adventure In Monsterland - Title Screen

This video shows the games title screen.

I got the idea from watching a video of Yoshi's Island on the Snes, which had a 2d rotated island using it's Mode 7 graphics.

This set me to thinking if i could do the same thing in 2d.
I initially used scaled sprites for the island itself, but this didn't look very good as the images tended to spin as they rotated.
So i decided to opt for rotated polygons for the island with everything else as sprites.

Although Blitzmax, the language i use supports 3D via Opengl, i didn't use it, but instead decided to do everything in software using my own 3d transforms.

Although the island seems to spin on it's axis, it is infact stationary and the camera orbits it at a set height and distance, mathematicaly speaking.

I've also used the bouncy title tune from the original game here as well which suits it quite well.

I quite enjoy watching all the creatures scuttle about.


Next job is to make a start on the map system.
A shop also needs to be created so Mayhem can upgrade his weapons from all those stars he'll collect.
And all the other levels need creating too.

Phew !
